Edds (6 foot 4, 256 pounds) was released by the Jets Saturday after leading the team in tackles (25) in the preseason. He was drafted by the Dolphins in 2010 out of Iowa, but has only played 11 NFL games (both in 2011) after sustaining ACL injuries in 2010 and 2012.

Last year, the Patriots cut Edds in camp. Edds played two games with New England and nine with Indianapolis in 2011.

Lankster, a fifth-round pick by Buffalo in 2009 from West Virginia, played the past three seasons with the Jets.

Like this:

People act like Idzik can force a player to sign with the Jets. A player decides what team he is going to play on when a free agent. Every free agent is not dying to join the New York Jets. Some guys prefer to take a little less money and stay put rather than moving their families. Some choose teams they feel have a better shot at being Super Bowl contenders.

Mind boggling, out all the players cut around the league couldn't we find value to pick up? What about RB Henry Josey, that's someone we can pick up and develop and who might be an impact player as a back, a gadget player or special teamer.

Yeah, our CB situation is less than ideal at the moment. Idzik signed Dimitri Patterson, who is a mediocre type CB but capable of starting in this league. People can say he was injury prone but who knew he was a flake and would wind up basically cutting himself from the team.

The Jets have not cut one player that is an impact player. Most players at the bottom of NFL rosters are pretty interchangeable. Guys like Lankster and Edds don't make or break teams. Fans fall in love with their players but don't realize there are a ton of mediocre type players out there. Fortunately we have difference makers throughout our starting lineup. When Milliner returns, our secondary will look much better. Injuries suck and happen to every team.

I really hope this is something more procedural than anything else and he is back on the roster before Sunday..Does he have to clear waivers or is he a vested vet and can sign anywhere now? I cant believe he would clear waivers with pettine and sutton around.... I hope they know what they are doing...

OT: A Hunt's Point man parked his Honda CRV at the side of the road. He got out and secured a chain to a pole; he wrapped the other end around his neck. He got back in his vehicle and hit the gas. The result was his own decapitation. That's pretty creative.

Every team has issues, but this corner situation seems like one our brain trust brought on themselves. I'm going to let go and let Rex. He's always put a good defense on the field, until he doesn't I'll give him the benefit of the doubt

Yeah, me either. Last season this piece of crap GM got us to 8-8 with a rookie 2nd round pick QB with no weapons. And this off-season, he signed Decker and CJ and Vick (Idzik wouldn't know talent if he tripped over it.)

He is on the hot seat....if we get to 9-7 or 10-6 and get to the playoffs....he is a goner !

(Oh, and by the way, Idzik stopped all the leaks and gives jack-sh-t to the beat writers consistently...I say fire him now)

Lankster has been on the team for a few years. Rex knows what type of player he is capable of being. The fact that Rex doesn't play him more speaks volumes. I just don't see this as something that awful. Lots of guys just got cut and everybody has a few favorites.

Which players have we released in recent years that have gone on and accomplished hugh things......Danny Woodhead ?
